medizin-forum.de

Deutsches Medizin Forum runs moderated online discussion forums on medical subjects, organised by medical specialty (such as anaesthesia, ophthalmology, surgery, allergology and angiology) and by patient topic (such as hypertension, breast cancer, prostatitis and alcohol).

The site separates a professional section for physicians and medical students in clinical training, where members exchange experience on everyday medical practice, from patient forums for people affected by a condition, their relatives and interested readers. Some patient forums are readable by the public, while writing is limited to group members in certain cases. Forums are moderated by the DMF team and, in some cases, by named moderators; a special forum offers a free online consultation on arterial hypertension, with questions answered within 24 hours by a physician.

The forums are in German. The site lists a legal notice (Impressum), a privacy policy, an archive and a FAQ.
